New Order: World in Motion (1990)

How is it that this somewhat ridiculous tune is New Order's only UK #1 hit? Of course, Discogs  calls the band Englandneworder. If that site is so interested in precision, the name should be ENGLANDneworder. 

The song was produced for England's 1990 FIFA World Cup campaign, and features several members of the English squad (i.e. shouting "Express Yourself") and John Barnes doing the rap. Comedian Keith Allen co-wrote the lyrics and is also featured. The single was issued on two separate 12" singles, where the second contains remixes by Graeme Park, Mike Pickering, Andrew Weatherall and Terry Farley.

This is not a terrible tune. It's OK and I'd give it a seven out of ten. It is way down the list of best New Order songs, however.  I don't know much about football songs, but this is probably one of the better ones. It didn't help the British lads, though.
